Garlic bread is really just a cheap cheese pizza. Olives were old and funky tasting. Mozzarella caprese salad is dry and rubbery. The pasta itself is well made and boiled. Ingredients overall I don’t describe as fresh for the price point. I find the existing reviews to be deceiving.

We received excellent service and the pasta was delicious. We enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere for dining. Our group had rigatoni salsiccia, pesto pasta, pasta bolognese, and lasagna. We'll be back!

I was disappointed with the food, the quality and prices. I wouldn’t return and I regret spending the money on food that was unacceptable.

The place has a nice outdoor patio now that Castro St. has been closed. The food and service were excellent. Dining out is one of the things that has been hot hard by inflation to the point where it is sometimes difficult to justify eating out. Although prices here were not out of line with other Italian restaurants, it seems pricey to pay $25 for Fettucine Alfredo so I am only able to give 4 stars on value.

Friendly service. Kind to children. The steak was delicious. I enjoyed my birthday here. The outdoor seating was quiet.

This was our son’s pick for his last dinner in MV before going to college. It’s a special place with wonderful employees. Delicious dinner for all!

Consistently good food preparation. The frutti di mare is particularly good if you like seafood! Decent choices for wines by the glass

Food and service was excellent. The Veal Piccata with the extra capers put it over the top!!

First time there. We all enjoyed it will be back when in Mountain View.

The server was not attentive at all. Literally had to wait 10 minutes just to flag him down. The food was moderate since the base sauce was the same for all pastas. There was no difference in the 3 pasta dishes which we ordered. Overall mediocre food and service
